Farewell, Ed Bradley
An article on USA Today's site pays tribute to the late Ed Bradley, who passed away from leukemia this week at the age of 65.
Left in Bradley's wake is a legend of sorts. The mere sounds that accompany Bradley's memory are clear; the faint, yet ever-present "tick tick tick" of the 60 minutes clock seems to be as closely associated with Bradley as his smooth, debonair voice. This voice was the sound, to millions, of a trustworthy newsman delivering a mellow commentary of America into the living rooms of millions of viewers, young and old.
While the Katie Courics of the news landscape may come and go, and the Rosie O'Donnell's may disperse their views, it may be a very long time before we see a presence as calming and effervescent as Bradley's.
Farewell, Ed.
